The Man in the Maze is a novel written by American writer Robert Silverberg, published in 1969. Originally serialized in the magazine, Worlds_of_If April 1968, pp. 5-57 & May 1968, pp. 108-158. It tells the tale of a man rendered incapable of interacting normally with other human beings by his uncontrollable psychic abilities. The novel is inspired by Sophocles' play Philoctetes, with the roles of Odysseus, Neoptolemus and Philoctetes played by Boardman, Rawlins, and Muller, respectively.
The novel deals with themes of isolation and social alienation, using psychic powers as an allegory for human interaction. Silverberg employed similar techniques in Dying Inside.
